Up Energy Drink by Christian Guzman Review

6/12/2017

I haven't done a food/drink review in a long time so today I am bringing you a review on the new energy drink to hit the market.............Up Energy Drink

Up Energy Drink was created by Christian Guzman who is a popular fitness YouTuber and owner of the Alphalete Athletics clothing brand. He has also opened a gym in his hometown.....Alphalete Gym. As you can see, he is pretty known in the fitness industry:

My husband is a big supporter of his so when he told me that Christian was releasing energy drinks under his brand, I was excited to try it out because I am a caffeine addict, LOL. My husband purchases the drinks on the release date (June 5th) and it was delivered at our home 2 days later (the shipping was amazing as for the time between ordering it and receiving it):

The design of the bottle is pretty simple and minimal....it's black and white with the logo being on the lower front of the bottle and the nutritional facts listed on the back. It comes in a 16.9 Fl Oz (500 ML) aluminum reuseable bottle which is BPA free and dishwasher safe. As for the nutrition, since this is an energy drink, I wasn't really looking for too much out of it except for the calories and caffeine content. So I was happy to see that this was only 15 calories for the whole drink and 200 mg of caffeine:

As for the flavor of the drink, it has a fruity/citrus taste and doesn't leave any type of bitter or nasty after taste from drinking it. It almost tastes like a fruit type of Sprite but not too sweet and not too bitter.

Overall, I do like this energy drink a lot. It has great flavor and I love the simple design of the bottle and the fact that it was reusable. It also gave me great energy throughout the day and it gave me an energy boost during my workout. I didn't experience any crazy jitters or any heart palpitations while drinking this drink and I didn't have any crashes as time went on after drinking it. This didn't cause any stomach discomfort or any type of headaches. (Please note that just because I didn't experience any problems doesn't mean you will not....if you have any type of caffeine sensitivity, I do not recommend this or any type of energy drink for you).

The one con that I found was in the bottle itself. Even though this bottle is reusable, I don't think you could use this for a long time, especially if you are rough with your water/plastic bottles. The reason that I mention this is because when we received our products, many of the bottles had dents in them (please see the video below for an example). It wasn't a big deal for me because I wasn't planning to keep all of the bottles and the ones I plan on keeping, I was only going to use it for a short time period. I wanted to note this just in case someone was thinking of keeping this for a long time.

The price of the Up Energy Drinks is $29.99 (not including shipping) for a 12 pack, which if you break it down, it's about $2.50 a bottle. For me, this is not too bad since I am comparing this to buying other energy drink brands which range about the same price and for the amount. I am not for sure if he plans on selling them individually but as for right now, they are only sold in 12 packs.
